Avigrain Wild Bird Mix 20kg – Wild Bird Seed Mix and Bulk Bird Seed for Backyard Birds

Avigrain Wild Bird Seed Mix for Backyard Birds

Avigrain Wild Bird Mix is a coarse wild bird seed mix of seeds and grains made to attract seed-eating wild birds to your backyard. The "For the Rebel in Your Backyard" blend includes wheat, sorghum, corn, oats, black sunflower, peas, safflower, grey sunflower and/or millet, a diverse combination that appeals to parrots and other granivorous birds. This is the bulk 20kg bag of bird seed, made by Avigrain, a 100% Australian owned family business making bird seed since 1987.

What Birds Does Wild Bird Seed Attract?

The sunflower, corn and grains in this mix are favourites of seed-eating birds, especially parrots. In Australian backyards, a coarse bird seed mix like this commonly draws in birds such as galahs, sulphur-crested cockatoos, corellas, rosellas, king parrots and native doves. Which birds visit depends on your area, the time of year and what natural food and shelter is nearby.

Bulk Bird Seed for Regular Feeding

Supermarket bird seed usually comes in small 4 to 5kg bags. This 20kg bag of bulk bird seed suits households that put seed out regularly, properties with several feeders, and schools or community gardens with bird tables. It lasts well when stored sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests.

Feeding Wild Birds Responsibly

Avigrain is upfront that this mix is made to attract birds for your enjoyment, not to be their main food source. In most of Australia, native birds can find their own food, so bird seed for wild birds works best as an occasional treat. Organisations such as BirdLife Australia encourage people to support birds by planting native trees and shrubs and providing clean water as well.

• Offer small amounts that birds clear in a day, rather than large piles
• Keep bird tables and feeders clean, and remove old or damp seed, as dirty feeding spots can spread disease
• Provide a shallow bird bath with fresh water, which attracts as many birds as seed does
• Clean up spilled seed to avoid attracting rats, mice, feral pigeons, sparrows and Indian mynas

Frequently Asked Questions

What's in Avigrain Wild Bird Mix?

Avigrain Wild Bird Mix contains wheat, sorghum, corn, oats, black sunflower, peas, safflower, grey sunflower and/or millet, a coarse bird seed blend for seed-eating wild birds.

Is Avigrain Wild Bird Mix a complete diet for wild birds?

No. Avigrain makes this mix to attract birds for your enjoyment, not as their main food source. Native birds can feed themselves, so offer it as a treat in modest amounts.

What is the best seed to feed birds?

The best seed depends on the birds you want to attract. Sunflower seed, corn and mixed grains suit parrots, cockatoos and pigeons, while finer millet suits small finches. A mixed wild bird seed covers a wide range of seed-eating birds.

What to feed wild birds in Australia?

Seed-eating birds like parrots and doves can be offered a quality wild bird seed in small amounts. The best long-term support is planting native trees and shrubs for food and shelter and providing clean, fresh water. Avoid bread, which offers little nutrition.

Is bird seed actually good for birds?

In small amounts, bird seed is a safe treat for seed-eating birds, but it should not replace their natural diet. Problems come from overfeeding, old or damp seed and dirty feeders, so offer modest amounts and keep feeding areas clean.

Can I feed it to my caged or aviary birds?

No. This is a wild bird attracting mix and is not suitable as a diet for caged or aviary birds, which need a species-appropriate seed mix.
